As well as the Taste of the Wild ranges, you will also find Diamond, Diamond Naturals, Diamond Care, and Diamond Pro89, as well as Nutra and NutraNuggets. If you’d prefer a more premium cat food that’s also focused on protein, check out my review of Dr. Elsey’s cleanprotein™ brand cat food here. Based on the name alone, some cat owners might assume that the Rocky Mountain recipe primary features salmon or venison but we don’t see either one until ingredient number seven. While limited ingredient diets fill a very specific role, there’s still plenty of room for improvement here.

Well since my cats are carniviourous, and not bovines being fattened up for slaughter, I went and did ALOT and I mean ALOT of label reading. Everything in the lower grade foods has everything in from brewers rice, sugar beet meal, to just plain cornmeal as the first two to three items on the label. You can find these items in another type of food as well LIVESTOCK SWEET FEED and silage. I’m seriously thinking now of getting a refund or trade on the unopened bag I have. Or I was wondering if, perhaps, mixing it with another like the CD2 would help.

Make sure your cat is on a low protein diet – i wouldn’t use this food as it is relatively high in protein. I have had a couple friends turn their cat’s kidney failing around switching to low protein diets. I thought Purina One with Turkey as the first ingredient would be a quality cat food, but apparently cat food is a series of serious compromises.

Some of these ingredients are worthy of highlighting. Uncommon meat ingredients like Venison and Buffalo can be an option for dogs with severe or multiple allergies. This is as a dog is less likely to have consumed them in the past and so is less likely to have a reaction. These puppy formulas are very close in ingredients and nutrition to their adult counterparts, which will make transitioning a newly adult dog a simple task.

Taste of the Wild Full Product Range

Taste of the Wild states that it does conduct feeding trials. However, they argue that these tests are observational and non-invasive. Many dogs can benefit from additional soluble fiber in the diet to ensure that they have regular digestion and stools. Outside of this fiber content, Tomato Pomace provides little nutrition. Ingredient Splitting involves dividing a single plant-based ingredient into multiple sub-ingredients such as Peas, Pea Protein, and Pea Flour. By doing this, they will appear further down the ingredient list and mislead consumers about the overall proportion of meat and vegetable ingredients.

It’s about 3 months since my first comment regarding TOTW Canyon River. My tabby who had suffered from allergies, plus 3 of my other cats are all still enjoying this food very much. They’re all in super condition – no health issues at all. Coats are shiny, eyes are bright and there was no transition period for the first feeding. I will continue to use this feed for all my cats and leave the grains for the cattle.

Some of the dry and wet cat foods in the Taste of the Wild’s range have higher than necessary carbs. Wild cats would have eaten prey containing minimal carbohydrates. The domestic cat still has a low carbohydrate requirement and it is believed that a diet that is too high in carbs could be detrimental to your cat’s health. Too many carbohydrates can lead to obesity and diabetes according to some studies.

Taste of the Wild also produces a select number of canned dog food formulas. Just as the puppy formulas mimic their adult versions, the canned dog food recipes all have a dry food equivalent. While their ingredients and nutrition are drastically different from their dry counterparts, the core meat or fish ingredients used remains the same. I have been feeding my dog TOTW since I got him as a foster, and I just switched my cat over to the canned formula at the recommendation of my vet that a wet food would be better for her. It took her a couple of days to get used to it, but now she pretty much cleans her bowl in a couple of sittings.

I was completely on board to switch until I saw the price. If you have a single animal household or a very small animal and you can afford this definitely go for it. Rocky Mountain’s nutritional profile is what gives it an edge. It has a significantly above-average proportion of protein and fat when compared to other dry cat foods.

Rocky Mountain Feline Formula Review

Taste of the Wild Canyon River turned out to be the only premium brand he could safely eat. He liked it from the getgo and now, 4 months later, he still enjoys it very much. His coat is shiny and full, and his skin lesions have completely cleared up. I had just adopted two cats from a local shelter and was looking to get a hearty cat food for my new pets.

If you keep it sealed, it will last a long time in the pantry. I bought a large bag for my kitty and a bunch of feral cats I used to feed. The people who owned the property where the feral cats lived knocked down the trees and took away the environment where the feral cats had their colony. Can per day and a little kibble here and there throughout the day.

In this case, you can look at the recommended feeding amount on each type of food and half them. The best premium dry cat food for adult felines is Royal Canin Indoor Dry. Recommended by Dr. Singleton, it’s formulated with a blend of fiber for digestion and weight maintenance.

They have a very limited number of vegetable ingredients, far less than many other limited ingredient ranges. Wild deer against a backdrop of densly forested terrain, 100 ft rocks in a rugged riparian setting, which is the most improbable scenario in nature. Breast milk contains a high amount of choline chloride!

Hogwash… choline occurs naturally in animal tissue and is a necessary ingredient. Choline Chloride is found in just about ALL pet foods. My cats eat this but the male has a serious scooting problem, we get his anal gland expressed every so often but that’s become a bit of a problem with our busy work schedules. I’ve been wondering if it could be some sort of allergy with the food but I’m not sure yet.

Hi, my name is Lowell and I have always been interested in animals. I was born with a deep fascination for them that has only grown stronger as I’ve gotten older. This interest has led me to become a zookeeper. It’s the best job in the world because it allows me to work with animals every day and learn more about them.
